Capital Improvements

I'm making some major additions to my knitting toolbox, courtesy of ebay. My favorite knitting needles on earth, the Addi Turbos, are quite expensive (up to $20/set at my local yarn store) and my collection has been growing very slowly. This is partly because I'm saving up for a set of Addi Click interchangeable circulars and I don't want to duplicate sizes, and partly because I have only recently realized the absolute necessity of having many different sizes available. The Addi Click set does not include 16" cables, so I decided to go hog wild and buy all the 16" sizes I was lacking-- for less than 50% retail! I try to support my LYS as much as possible, but $20 for a single cable needle is too much-- the shop lady even apologized to me last time I came to visit.

I'm in the planning phase of another major improvement to my knitting infrastructure-- a dedicated knitting corner in my bedroom. This will ideally include a dresser to hold my yarn stash and needles, a nice comfy chair and a good lamp-- hopefully the craigslist furniture section will come through for me. Eric is tired of finding my works-in-progress all over the apartment.
